There are about 13332 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Netherlands. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This is a Phase 1/1b Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of AMG 596 monotherapy or in combination with AMG 404 in Subjects with Glioblastoma or Malignant Glioma Expressing Mutant Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III (EGFRvIII). This is a first in human (FIH), open-label, sequential-dose-escalation study in subjects with EGFRvIII-positive glioblastoma or malignant glioma. This study will enroll 2 groups of subjects according to disease stage, recurrent disease (Group 1) and maintenance treatment after SoC in newly diagnosed disease (Group 2).
The studys evaluates the effect of prehospital administration of crushed tablets of Prasugrel loading dose (in addition to ASA and standard care) versus uncrushed tablets of Prasugrel loading dose on efficacy and safety as well as pharmacodynamics as measured by platelet reactivity using VerifyNow.
This randomized controlled pilot study has as a main aim to investigate the relationship between glucose and cognition and wellbeing, as well as food intake in an at-work setting. Additionally, the continuous glucose data collected in the study will be used to investigate the inter- and intraindividual variability in glucose response to foods/meal in a real-life setting. Finally, the study aims to determine if self-monitoring and feedback about food intake and health stimulate individuals to make healthier choices. This study will have two groups, the feedback group and the control group. The study will consist of two self-monitoring periods of two weeks. In between these two self-monitoring periods, the participants in the feedback group will be given feedback on their measurement data. The control group will not get any feedback.
Rationale: The aim of this study is to identify the optimal second line treatment option for patients with a poor prognosis metastasized Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) with respect to Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) rate and quality of life. Objective: The primary endpoint is CBR in mCRPC patients with poor prognostic features and previously treated with docetaxel, randomized between cabazitaxel (Arm A) and novel hormonal agents (abiraterone OR enzalutamide) as second-line therapy (Arm B). Intervention: Patients in Arm A will receive cabazitaxel and prednisone and patients in Arm B will receive abiraterone and prednisone OR enzalutamide. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Treatment regimens evaluated in this trial are used in common mCRPC treatment practice and are reimbursed. Risk of side effects or death as a result of treatment is not affected by the trial design. At baseline, prior to each treatment cycle and at end of treatment, patients are requested to visit the out-patient clinic, where a physical exam will be performed in combination with vena puncture for blood analysis. Radiological evaluation will be performed at base line, after 3 months of treatment and at end of treatment. All above mentioned interventions can be considered as standard practice. Patients are requested to fill out QoL and pain/analgesic use questionnaires at base line, prior to each cycle and at end of treatment.
This retrospective, multinational, single-arm study will be conducted in at least 8 sites. An interim analysis will be conducted with data from 100 patients with up to 10 well defined HCC tumor(s) and with at least one tumor ≥3 cm. Normal tissue absorbed dose using pre-procedural 99mTc MAA SPECT or SPECT/CT imaging will be measured to allow the mean absorbed normal tissue dose corresponding to a ≤15% probability of CTCAE grade 3 or higher hyperbilirubinemia (in the absence of disease progression) to be calculated. Total bilirubin will be recorded and graded according to CTCAE version 4.02. All dose-related SAEs at 3 months follow-up will be followed until resolution, death or lost-to-follow-up. AEs related to disease progression will not be considered related to TheraSphere.
This study evaluates the efficacy of three experimental antibiotics in the treatment of uncomplicated anogenital gonorrhoea. Participants will be randomized to one of four study arms and will receive either one of the three experimental antibiotics (ertapenem, fosfomycin and gentamicin) or the current standard antibiotic (ceftriaxone). Both the study team and the participant are blinded to the administered treatment. This enables the investigators to compare the eradication capacity and safety of the experimental antibiotics with the standard treatment. *Following the advise of the DSMB based on a planned interim analysis, in October 2018 one study arm (fosfomycin 6g PO) was dropped and the randomized clinical trial was continued with three treatment arms (ceftriaxone 500mg IM, ertapenem 1000mg IM and gentamicin 5mg/kg IM) and without the oral placebo.
In this study the effect of an acute acid load on the intrarenal renin angiotensin-system is evaluated in patients with chronic kidney disease and healthy controls
BACKGROUND: Older adults spend approximately 80% of their awake time in sedentary activities which represents 8 to 12 hours per day. In the past, numerous stand-alone exercise programs have been developed. However, it is challenging to persuade older adults to become and maintain physically active. Consequently, physical activity should be embedded in the daily life of older adults to reduce their sedentary time, prevent negative health consequences and facilitate ageing in place. INTERVENTION: 'Stay Active at Home' is not an additional, (classical) exercise programme; physical activity is integrated in usual home care. Healthcare professionals learn to engage older adults in daily life in order to improve their physical activity and reduce their sedentary time. For example, washing the upper body and face independently; changing the pillowcase, while professional changes bedcover; and motivating clients to join a dancing class at the community centre. AIM and DESIGN: The aim of this cluster randomised controlled trial is to provide evidence about the (cost-) effectiveness of 'Stay Active at Home' prior to dissemination and implementation of the programme. Alongside the trial an extensive process evaluation will be conducted.
The purpose of this study is to assess AR101's safety, tolerability and efficacy over an extended dosing period.
Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is one of the standard non-invasive imaging techniques allowing imaging of the heart and coronary arteries with a high temporal and spatial resolution. The high sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) make it a valuable tool in the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with low to intermediate risk for CAD, especially to rule out CAD. This risk stratification can be done with help of multiple different risk-calculators (e.g. the updated Diamond-Forrester model by Genders et al. 2012). These calculators take different variables into account, e.g. advanced age, gender, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus (DM), lipid profile and smoking. The aim of CCTA is a high diagnostic accuracy, which depends on both optimal intravascular enhancement (in Hounsfield Units; minimal 325 HU) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Optimal intravascular enhancement and CNR depend on different factors such as scan technique (e.g. tube voltage, tube potential), parameters of the administered contrast material (CM) and patient related factors (e.g. cardiac output (CO), body weight (BW)). Patients with cardiac diseases often have multiple risk factors for developing contrast induced nephropathy (CIN), e.g. diabetes mellitus, advanced age, hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Although the relationship between CTA and CIN has recently come to discussion (AMACING trial; Nijssen et al. 2017), it is still desirable to minimise the CM volume used in these patients. One method to reduce the CM volume is to personalise the injection protocols. The personalisation of injection protocols to the individual patient is gaining more attention in the field of CT imaging. The goal is to individualise the injection protocols to a level, where the patient only receives the minimal amount of CM needed to acquire a diagnostic scan, while maintaining a diagnostic image quality. Many techniques are available and have been studied, e.g. adjustment of CM volume to scan protocol, CO, lean body weight (LBW) and BW. However, no data is available on which of these is the most beneficial method for the personalisation of CM injection protocols. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the performance of three different personalized injection protocols (based on CO, LBW and BW) in CCTA with regard to image quality in comparison to previously used protocols in our department. We hypothesize that the personalized injection protocols will be non-inferior, provide a homogenous coronary enhancement (less non-diagnostic scans) in patients, and will account for a reduction of CM volume in our department in comparison to the previously used protocols.
